i'm just happy to hear that the way i don't like is the way i wont get...
i wish tho they could do something about people who run from rematches. i lose my queen to a misplacement error, like a mouse drop, i resign to rematch. i lose points, my bad, but my opponent denies a rematch and accepts a similar match, and plays a stranger. makes no sense. and i will consider a hitman one day... ;))
Unless I seem to share something in common, I neither ask for nor accept rematches. There are thousands of people to play on any given day. Why is it important at all?
I hate this new feature.... Constantly puts me against players that crush me.
So what's the verdict on the 'new' system?
Can anyone recommend alternative sites? There's such differences in games between 1373 rated player and 1573 player and a 1773 player. It's still the sole reason why i'm not a paid subscriber.
Well... Yes?
Well... Yes?
well .. the point is that as a 1573 i can't get a consistent experience as i'm automatically paired with anything fomr a 1373 1573 and 1773. WIth a manual option i could get the experience i wanted.
Sorry i have a doubt that i can not solve and thought you could now the response.
i have 1408 points in blitz chess, i play 5-5 usually. What I would like to know is how enter new points to the system. For example, when i play to the computer in chess HARD (1541) 3-2 i can't win, it is extremely fast, won't let me think strategically and then lose. But there are people who have 1600, 1800 and until 2000 or more points. In addition to gaining to other players, the points should exit from either side, to beat the computers options i guess ?, is as well ? But someone with 2000 points, wins the computer in impossible ( 2300 3-2 ).
Can you explain where it exits the total universe of points that have all the players, and how to add more points to those who are already in game. Without beating the computers i suppose that it is impossible to reach values as high as 2000-2100 or more points. If you are gaining to computers, could not add computers with times of 5-5 ? x example or more 10 min/0 x example ?, which is blitz, not standard, but not 3-2 which is very fast for most of us. Thanks!!
Is there a way for having a spread of like 150 ELO above and below .. Ive been matched with 400-500 pts above me latelely why would I want to play that far above my ELO no cometition there

I think so, yes. There is a setting for this under live chess to specify how far above and below your own rating you seek players.
It seems that most players want to play opponents rated above themselves. True, that is a good (probably the best) way to learn. But remember that only one half of the players can do this. The other half has to play someone rated below themselves.
So, if you are 1400 and enjoy playing a 1700 once in a while, maybe you should give that same pleasure to some 1100 player once in a while.
Also if you play opponents close to you in rating and you win and lose the same number of games, doesn't that mean that your rating is correct?
